What actually happened: "how bout them White Sox" over tavern-style pizza and Chicago dogs

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Emotional Support Werewolf is here for you, just in case snuggles and/or violence would help.

I love this description of writing, perhaps especially because I got caught in exactly this battle last night and finally had to give up and go to bed, hoping that a good night‘s sleep would enable me to wrestle the nasty little thing into submission today.

When I was a kid, I often went hungry- and I frequently went to bed bruised, beaten, or worse. One time I smuggled a brown sugar box out of the cupboard and stored it under my pillow for when I would wake up with nightmares.

Marigold would like some praise, please, plus description of her adorable features!

Yes. Reminds me of the John Wesley quotation:

“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”

LOL, you missed out! We had videos, CDs, listened to nothing else in the car for years. Finally transitioned them to Bruce Springsteen, Indigo Girls, Great Big Sea so I wasn’t humming “Let’s hear it for Wags the Dog” and “Fruit Salad” all the time like a lunatic.

OMG soundtrack of my kids’ childhood. I loved these guys! Saw them in person here in St. Paul, maybe 2004? Anthony was always my favorite

The USA government’s military buildup surrounding Iran has already cost as much as the total amount of grant money they “saved” ($350M) by abruptly ending Hispanic Serving Institution grants that supported under-resourced university students across the whole country.

HCMC is the trauma center where Renee Good and Alex Pretti and the children from the Annunciation shooting were cared for. They have the 24/7 hyperbaric service other hospitals send pts to. They house the regional poison center. They are our safety net hospital. We need them! We have to support them

Africa (Toto)...but it lists every country in Africa YouTube video by There I Ruined It

WELL

I'm never going to hear this song correctly again, am I

Every story is more horrifying than the last. There's no fixing this level of deliberate cruelty and indifference to human life. The whole structure of immigration enforcement has to go; this is not reformable. We need to start over. God have mercy.

EVERY - SINGLE - UBI - STUDY proves its effectiveness. There has NEVER been a UBI study that says it doesn't work and has poor ROI. EVER. #UBINow

OMG I've had double-sided bookcases before (had to give them up when I moved into current apartment, they didn't fit up the stairs) but the CURVE makes them SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL! Wow. Really love this. Very jealous.

Powerful book list! So many things I really want to read and definitely need to know more about.

That would be lovely, thank you!

I started Finch a week ago and love it. Definitely craving that cute little cow!

Ooh what sort of goals? I really need to work on strength and balance, and am pretty sure walking on my tiptoes isn’t even close to possible right now, though it would be great to work towards.

OMG the alt text on these trees!!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look for that. Being big is just weird
